50 On the Distribution of Birds in Great Britain. 
Whitbarrow Scar; and Mr. J. B. Hodgkinson has found its nest 
occasionally in Cumberland : it breeds also in the Isle of Man, 
as I learn from my obliging correspondent Mr. J. F. Crellin. 
The Rock-Dove is numerous in many localities along the 
west coast of Scotland, especially in the isles, and abounds in 
the Outer Hebrides, in Orkney, and in Shetland, and, though 
less numerous on the east side of Scotland, breeds regularly in 
Caithness, Elgin, Banff, and in a few localities in Aberdeenshire, 
at Down Castle, Stirling (Mr. J. Murray), in the Isle of Man, 
on the Bass Rock, and at Fast Castle, Berwickshire. 
On the east coast of England, the Rock-Dove breeds only at 
Flamborough ; it also breeds in a few rocky valleys or inland 
cliffs in Derby, York, Leicester, Stafford, Shropshire, and 
Somerset. 
Like the Dartford-Warbler, the Rock-Dove on the European 
continent is quite a southern species. 
Turtur auritus (G. R. Gray). Turtle-Dove. 
Provinces I—V. VI.? VIII. X. 
Subprovinces 2, 3, 4-15, 17?, 19, 23, 24. 
Lat. 50°-54° or 55°. “ English ” (or “ Germanic ”’) type. 
Breeds in South Devon occasionally, and Somerset ; regularly 
in Gloucester, and perhaps also in Pembroke ; regularly in Here- 
fordshire, Shropshire, and Stafford: in the last two counties it 
is rare; in Derbyshire occasionally (Mr. J. J. Briggs); in 
Cheshire very rarely (Mr. J. F. Brockholes), and in the south 
of Yorkshire (Mr. Reid). To the east and south of this line, 
the Turtle-Dove nests in all the midland and southern counties, 
but is described as scarce in Lincolnshire. 
Dr. Heysham records that a young bird was once taken in 
Cumberland, where the species is very rarely seen; and the 
Rev. H. B. Tristram tells me that the nest has once been found 
as far north as Durham. Yarrell says that the Turtle-Dove is 
found in Lancashire, and is not uncommon in Cornwall; but I 
have not been able to obtain any evidence of its breeding in 
either of these counties. It seems also safer to consider the 
locality of South Wales uncertain for the present.
